Are you sure there is a law again making false statements to the general public? I think police lie all the time in sting operations or as undercover ops.

I think the current US law is that lawmen can try to compel you to not discuss a subject, and try to jail you if you do, however, they cannot try to tell you to speak falsehoods about a subject.
